In the preparation of Boric acid (MW = 61.81 g/mol), 140 grams of borax (MW = 381.2 g/mol) dissolved in 300 mL water was made to react with 70 mL of Hydrochloric acid (MW = 36.46 g/mol). What is the amount of Boric acid obtained from borax? Boric Acid: Na2B4O7.10H2O + 2 HCl → 4 H3BO3 + 2 NaCl + 5 H2O
